ATTENTION: This demo page is still under construction and it doesn’t demonstrate/show all features yet.

Around two years ago we released a wordpress background plugin called WP-Backgrounds. We received many feedbacks and we eventually decided to release a completely rewritten version of WP-Backgrounds with a lot more features.

1) Feature overview:

All background types (except the Supersized backgrouns slider) have a fluid layout and they scale with the screen size. They are fully responsive and can be used in combination with modern responsive wordpress themes.

You can a different background for each post, page and custom post type.

Backgrounds are stored as custom post type and you can reuse them as often as you like.

Set as many images/videos as you like – they’ll be displayed as a background slideshow.

Compatible with all modern browsers like IE7, IE8, IE9, Firefox, Opera, Safari, Chrome and other modern browsers.

Can be used with nearly every theme – premium and free ones. For the most themes it works out of the box (i.e. for TwentyTen or boxed themes). We can assist you with css changes if the are required. Some z-index, container and background color options help you to adjust the background layer and color via admin panel.

Fully translatable – the plugin uses PO/MO files for the translation. German translation already included, more to come.

3) Additional features:

Use special backgrounds for mobile devices (we use the browser agent to detect the device). Thus if a mobile device is detected WP-Backgrounds II can use another custom background entry. This option is very useful if you’d like to avoid that mobile users need to download html5 video files, etc.

Add a pattern image to each background. You can use the predefined patterns or a custom ones.

Add a link to each background slide – background is clickable and can be used for i.e. adverts. Attention: This feature does not work with all themes! You probably need to use a theme with a boxed layout where the content area doesn’t cover the whole background.

If the theme doesn’t support fullsize links you can display a small link icon anywhere on the website instead.

4) Media uploader:

You can use the unique image uploader to upload/add your background images/videos or you can enter the urls to external images/videos into a text field. You can even combine both options.

The image uploader can also attach existing images from the media gallery or you can upload new files.

You can reorder the slides via drag’n’drop.

5) Supersized options:

Various transition types like fade, slide or carousel or turn the transition effect off.

Set the transition speed (slow, fast or custom)

Adjust display time as you like (i.e. every slide can display for 5 seconds, 10 seconds, etc.)

9) Fallback image for Non-JS users:

Adds a noscript image to the website content which will be shown if the user deactivated Javascript in the browser settings.

Standard fallback or css3 background fallback feature.

Use another background entry as fallback source.

10) Custom Login page and panel:

Remove wordpress branding.

Use your own logo and adjust dimensions via option panel.

Add custom logo url and link title to logo.

Custom login form look – modern and clean.

Add a footer link to the login page.

Use fullscreen background images or videos.

11) Custom post type and term/taxonomy support

12) Pattern & background options

We’ll try our best to assist you with any kind of issues which may arise during or after the plugin installation. We’ll update the plugin regularly to make it compatible with new WordPress and jQuery versions.
